Launched in 1960, the Accutron was the world's first fully electric watch and at the time the most accurate timekeeping mechanism ever devised. They are remarkable watches with a fascinating story - the tuning fork technology was originally developed for NASA because of its accuracy.

The Accutron was so accurate that the U.S. government asked Bulova to delay the release of the cutting edge movement for fear the technology may fall into the hands of the Russians. An Accutron watch movement sits on the moon's Sea of Tranquility today, in an instrument placed there in 1969 by Apollo 11 astronauts.

The Spaceview model, Bulova's Accutron watch without a dial, was never intended by Bulova to be sold; it was a salesman's demonstration watch and jeweler's display.

Here are some of the watch's special features:

* Originally guaranteed to be 99.9977% accurate on your wrist (not just in a laboratory)

Today's offering showcases an original chapter-ring Spaceview in very pleasing condition. The chapter ring and hands are very nice. And the case is crisp and unpolished, just short of mint. Our watchmaker has installed a new signed Accutron crystal, new coil, and a new battery.

Included with the purchase is a one-year international warranty on the movement and its function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate of Authenticity.
